...increased number of men who have returned this year for post-graduate studies Harvard has cause for self-congratulation. There can be no comment more favorable to the intellectual status of a college than the fact that, after the fascination in college life pure and simple has passed away at their graduation, the alumni return either to the Law School, the Medical School, or for advanced study in the Graduate Department. Eighty-eight has, in this respect, shown commendable loyalty to its Alma Mater, and the officers and professors of the university should feel in this an assurance that their...
...initiative, we are certain that they will find many men ready to aid them in the undertaking. We are informed officially that such a body of men would have full powers of officers of the officers of the law, but in the college grounds. The task will demand some self-sacrifice.

The CRIMSON, in a very outspoken article, calls this a monstrous proposition, of which the practical result will be the abolition of the contests sought to be regulated. And, indeed, it is self-evident that, in taking Harvard out of the league, defeat is invited in any encounter (except boating) with Yale, for want of the same discipline against first-rate antagonists; and regular defeat means discouragement and disgust for the loser. Nor, we suppose, is it certain that, under the new conditions...
